22 In the days of Eliashib, the Levites Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua were recorded as the heads of families, and the priests were recorded during the reign of Darius the Persian.
Los Levitas en los días de Eliasib, de Joiada, y de Johanán, y de Jaddua fueron escritos cabezas de familias: y los sacerdotes, hasta el reinado de Darío el Persa.
23 The descendants of Levi, their leaders of families were recorded in the book of the annals up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib.
Los hijos de Leví, que fueron escritos cabezas de familias en el libro de las crónicas hasta los días de Johanán, hijo de Eliasib:
24 The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, with their associates, who stood opposite them to give praise and to give thanks, responding section by section, in obedience to the command of David, the man of God.
Las cabezas de los Levitas fueron Hasabías, Serebías, y Jesuá, hijo de Cadmiel, y sus hermanos, delante de ellos, para alabar y para glorificar, conforme al estatuto de David varón de Dios, guarda contra guarda.
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers standing guard at the storerooms by the gates.
Matanías, y Bacbucías, Abdías, Mosollam, Talmón, Accub, guardas, porteros en la guarda en las entradas de las puertas.
26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priest and scribe.
Estos fueron en los días de Joiacim, hijo de Jesuá, hijo de Josedec, y en los días de Nehemías capitán, y de Ésdras sacerdote, escriba.
27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the people sought out the Levites wherever they lived, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with joy, with thanksgivings and singing with cymbals, harps, and with lyres.
Y en la dedicación del muro de Jerusalem buscaron a los Levitas de todos sus lugares, para traerlos a Jerusalem, para hacer la dedicación y la alegría con alabanzas y con cantar, con címbalos, salterios, y cítaras.
28 The fellowship of singers gathered together from the district around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites.
Y fueron congregados los hijos de los cantores, así de la campiña al rededor de Jerusalem, como de las aldeas de Netofati,
29 They also came from Beth Gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built for themselves villages around Jerusalem.
Y de la casa de Gálgala, y de los campos de Geba, y de Azmavet: porque los cantores se habían edificado aldeas al derredor de Jerusalem.
30 The priests and the Levites purified themselves, and then they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Y fueron purificados los sacerdotes y los Levitas, y purificaron al pueblo, y las puertas, y el muro.
31 Then I had the leaders of Judah go up to the top of the wall, and I appointed two large choirs who gave thanks. One went to the right on the wall toward the Dung Gate.
E hice subir a los príncipes de Judá sobre el muro, y puse dos coros grandes, y procesiones, la una iba a la mano derecha sobre el muro hacia la puerta del muladar.
32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
E iba tras de ellos Osaías, y la mitad de los príncipes de Judá,
33 and after them went Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
Y Azarías, Ésdras, y Mesullam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Judá, y Ben-jamín, y Semaías, y Jeremías.
35 and some of the priests' sons with trumpets, and Zechariah son of Jonathan son of Shemaiah son of Mattaniah son of Micaiah son of Zaccur son of Asaph.
Y de los hijos de los sacerdotes con trompetas; Zacarías, hijo de Jonatán, hijo de Semaías, hijo de Matanías, hijo de Micaias, hijo de Zacur, hijo de Asaf,
36 There also were Zechariah's relatives, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. Ezra the scribe was in front of them.
Y sus hermanos Semaías, y Azarael, Milalai, Gilelai, Maai, Natanael, y Judá, Janani, con los instrumentos músicos de David varón de Dios; y Ésdras escriba delante de ellos.
37 By the Fountain Gate they went straight up on the stairs of the city of David, by the stairway to the wall above David's palace, to the Water Gate on the east.
Y a la puerta de la fuente, y delante de ellos, subieron por las gradas de la ciudad de David, por la subida del muro, desde la casa de David hasta la puerta de las aguas al oriente.
38 The other choir of those who gave thanks went in the other direction. I followed them on the wall with half the people, above the Tower of Ovens, to the Broad Wall,
Y el segundo coro iba al contrario, y yo en pos de él, y la mitad del pueblo, sobre el muro, desde la torre de los hornos hasta el muro ancho;
39 and above the Gate of Ephraim, and by the Old Gate, and by the Fish Gate and the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, to the Sheep Gate, and they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
Y desde la puerta de Efraím hasta la puerta vieja, y a la puerta de los peces, y la torre de Hananeel, y la torre de Emat hasta la puerta de las ovejas: y pararon en la puerta de la cárcel.
40 So both choirs of those who gave thanks took their place in the house of God, and I also took my place with half of the officials with me.
Y pararon los dos coros en la casa de Dios: y yo, y la mitad de los magistrados conmigo:
41 Then the priests took their place: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with the trumpets,
Y los sacerdotes Eliacim, Maasías, Minjamín, Micaias, Elioenai, Zacarías, Jananías, con trompetas;
42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the singers made themselves heard and Jezrahiah was their leader.
Y Maasías, y Semeías, y Eleazar, y Uzzi, y Johanán, y Malquías, y Elam, y Ezer: e hicieron oír su voz los cantores, y Jezraia el prepósito.
43 They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy. Also the women and the children rejoiced. So the joy of Jerusalem could be heard far away.
Y sacrificaron aquel día grandes víctimas, e hicieron alegrías; porque Dios los había alegrado de grande alegría: y aun también las mujeres y los muchachos se alegraron, y la alegría de Jerusalem fue oída lejos.
44 On that day men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms for the contributions, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by the law for the priests and for the Levites. Each was assigned to work the fields near the towns. For Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who were standing before them.
Y fueron puestos en aquel día varones sobre las cámaras de los tesoros, de las ofrendas, de las primicias, y de las décimas, para juntar en ellas de los campos de las ciudades las porciones legales para los sacerdotes, y para los Levitas: porque la alegría de Judá era sobre los sacerdotes y Levitas que asistían.
45 They performed the service of their God, and the service of purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, in keeping with the command of David and of Solomon his son.
Y guardaban la observancia de su Dios, y la observancia de la expiación, y los cantores, y los porteros, conforme al estatuto de David, y de Salomón su hijo.
46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors of singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Porque desde el tiempo de David y de Asaf, y de antes, había príncipes de cantores, y cántico, y alabanza, y acción de gracias a Dios.
47 In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, all Israel gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers. They set aside the portion that was for the Levites, and the Levites set aside a portion for the descendants of Aaron.
Y todo Israel en los días de Zorobabel, y en días de Nehemías daba raciones a los cantores, y a los porteros, cada cosa en su día: y santificaban a los Levitas, y los Levitas santificaban a los hijos de Aarón.
